Is this a call of WAR or a sign of PEACE?
The great trouble between the loyalists and rebels in Libya under the longtime President Muammar Gaddafi triggered the United Nations coalition to enforce air strikes against the said leader. They wanted the group of loyalists and Gaddafi himself to be forced out.
The reason why the UN coalition started air strikes against Gaddafi is a little too vague. In the first place, why are they starting air strikes when in the first place they wanted peace among the people in Libya? Is this an act of war among the countries involve like the United States? Well, no one knows.
Here are some actual photographs caught on sight: [My apologies if some or many of these photos are a bit defying or violating. You're welcome to post your comments, suggestions and/or reactions. Thank you!]
